You're inspiring me - I can picture some absolutely luscious handtowels for the bathroom using this.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I bought Janet's book based on your recommendation. I've been overwhelmed by how useful and itneresting it is. I only have four projects to run through the loom before I can start playing with the blanket, but I'm already making plans!Geodynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05612024268485020748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-31990205038977248712008-08-06T15:33:00.000+01:002008-08-06T15:33:00.000+01:00Thank you for posting those lovely pictures.

I've heard it's wonderful for weaving towels so I am tempted to get some and try it. I love the textures.
